Rihanna is feuding with TLC.

This is where I don't jump up and start chanting "Girl fight ... girl fight ... girl fight."

TLC appeared Thursday on Australia's Sunrise 7 before playing a show in Sydney, and talked about today's pop stars -- including Chris Brown's ex-girlfriend Rihanna -- relying too much on sex to sell their music.

"Every time I see you, you don't have to be naked," Tionne "T-Boz" Watkins, 44, said of Rihanna. "It's hard for us to say anything because anytime we do, they say, 'Oh TLC must be jealous,' but I call a spade a spade."

This is a woman whose bandmate used to regularly wear a condom over her eye. That must've been in case a spontaneous water balloon fight broke out.

Rozonda "Chilli" Thomas, 43, said, "We became the biggest girl selling group of all time with our clothes on and that says a lot."

Rihanna -- who is really getting funnier by the day -- responded by posting photos of herself laughing, then sticking her tongue out. "When there's no changing the fact that I'm me, and they're well ... they're them," she wrote on Twitter.

Then she changed her Twitter header to display a topless photo of TLC, taken back in the 1990s.
